I've encountered a few who think they own the bloody road! Guess the inferior complex gets the better of you when you acutally own a Smart car!

Lotus? Different league lah... IMHO also, pointless is what aptly describes the fortwo. Definitely not this roadster baby! If that guy has got the moolah to pamper himself with roadster as a 2nd car (or even 3rd car), I wonder if such name calling is justifiable here. Toys? Yeah, cars are indeed boys' toys apart from the other pricey 'hobby' fo some men... ;-) Audi TT? Lotus?
